Committee Definitions

The following committee definitions have been adopted from ALA's committee definitions as contained in the ALA Handbook of Organization.

1. Advisory
An advisory committee is a committee that evaluates the policies, programs or projects of the organization as a whole and recommends courses of action. Its objectives are closely interwoven with the function and development of NMRT, and therefore the committee should have a continuing life.

2. Standing
A standing committee is a committee with objectives so closely tied to the progress and goals of NMRT that it should have a continuing life.

3. Special
A special committee is a committee established to study various aspects of policy, planning and administration. It should have a specific assignment and make recommendations based on that assignment. Its life should depend on the need for continued study in its area of assignment.

4. Ad hoc
An ad hoc committee is a committee appointed to pursue a designated project to a specific goal within a specific period of time. The life of the con-anittee ends with the completion of the project or at the conclusion of that time period. An ad hoc committee is normally limited to a one year existence.
